Deep Chandra Jeneja vs Lajwanti Kathuria (Dead) By Lrs

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the tenant's writ petition challenging the release order under Section 21(1)(a) of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, affirming the finding of bona fide need for additional accommodation by the landlady for her family. The Court emphasized that the lower courts had adequately considered the evidence of comparative hardship and the tenant's claims of mal-intent were unsubstantiated. The tenant was granted one year to vacate the premises, contingent upon filing an undertaking to vacate within that period.
